What a beautiful day to explore the Noosa River with a stand up paddle board or kayak!!

And that’s exactly what our Lexis Noosa students did for the afternoon. They hired a stand up paddle board or kayak for an hour and explored the Noosa River near our famous Hastings Street and Noosa Main beach.

It looks like our students had a wonderful time on the water!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and make sure you sign up for our next exciting activity!

Looking for something to do on the weekend? Here are a few suggestions to get you started!!

We love doing these kinds of activities so that the students get to learn about different cultures!

In September 2018 we were lucky enough to play host to two Instagram Specialists travelling from Spain to Lexis Noosa to experience the life of a student for a week.

Sayaka Nagano and Mika Aruga met in 2008 whilst studying at Lexis English Noosa in teacher Suzies class. They are still best friends and returned to Noosa to celebrate ten years since their wonderful student days here. There were tears and smiles when they discovered that Suzie was still teaching here and it was a beautiful reunion. Sayaka married an Australian and has settled in Sydney working as a Kindy teacher. Mika lives in Tokyo and works as a medical engineer. They said that they have still kept in touch with many of their international classmates and will never forget their happy carefree days as a student in Noosa.

Thank you for coming in and sharing your story with us Sayaka and Mika.

This afternoon the students enjoyed some volleyball and badminton at Pinaroo park.

The students split into two groups. One played badminton first and the other played volleyball. Once the teams had a bit of time playing one sport they then swapped!

Such a fun afternoon in the beautiful park.. take a look at this video to see just how great it is: https://www.facebook.com/100015335927407/videos/pcb.10155968872071275/484334658754394/?type=3&theater&ifg=1

Lexis Noosa students have been busy job hunting lately. It only takes a little bit of hard work and determination to find a great job in Noosa! Marie-Zoe attended the Job workshop and received a lot of help from Sam with some great tips on how to get a job.

We understand how important it is for many of our students to find employment as soon as possible after arrival. That is why we run our ‘Lexis WORKshop’ every Tuesday from 2pm to 3pm for all our full time students.

The first thing that Sam will do is to help you get a Tax File Number (TFN) and Australian Business Number (ABN). Then you are provided with a computer and Sam will help you write up a resume that suits the current Noosa work environment. He knows what information is needed and what is unnecessary. This workshop is personalised to your needs and requirements. You can print off your resumes once they are ready.

The next step is to get help with where to go, when to go and how to approach employers with your resume. You are then ready to set out on your job search. But not alone; if needed Sam is always happy to give a helping hand.

If your English is at a level good enough to try for a ‘front of house’ job such as table waiting or working behind a bar or in a cafe. In which case Sam will help you get your Responsible Service of Alcohol’ certificate.

So, good luck with your job hunting and give yourself a better chance by signing up for Lexis WORKshop.
